Virginia Incumbents Seek Reelection Amid District Map Controversy

Virginia’s U.S. House districts have all incumbents running for reelection this year. Voters in Virginia are selecting nominees in these districts using the unchanged political maps from two years prior.

The Supreme Court of Virginia nullified a statewide referendum, initially approved by voters in April, which aimed to establish new districts that would favor Democrats.
